Radiolabeled Bsg Binding Assay

The KD and Bmax values were determined through an in vitro binding assay. NCCIT embryonal carcinoma cells were plated at 200 000 cells/well in a poly-d-lysine coated clear 12-well plate (Corning, Cat. No. 354470) and allowed to adhere for 24 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The cells were either incubated with 0.62–50 nM of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Bsg or subjected to blocking by coincubation of 0.62–50 nM of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Bsg with >80-fold excess nonradiolabeled Bsg in triplicate for 1 h at room temperature. Following incubation, the media were removed, and cells were washed twice with 1× PBS, detached with 0.25% trypsin-EDTA, and collected in microcentrifuge tubes. The radioactivity of the samples and concentration standards were measured with a gamma counter (PerkinElmer Wizard2 (link) 2480) and plotted as sites/cell versus antibody concentration (nM). GraphPad Prism was used to determine the KD and Bmax with a one-site association curve.

Biodistribution Study of Zirconium-89 Labeled Bsg

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A separate cohort of mice bearing tumors (n = 5) was administered i.v. in the lateral tail vein with 0.74–1.48 MBq (20–40 μCi, 4–8 μg) of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Bsg. A competitive inhibition study was conducted in a separate group of mice by coadministration of the radiotracer and ~500 μg of nonradiolabeled Bsg-DFO (n = 5). Mice were euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation after 24, 48, 72, and 120 h p.i. Wet weights of the harvested tissues, including the tumor, were obtained. Bound activity was measured via a gamma counter (PerkinElmer Wizard2 (link) 2480), decay-corrected to the time of injection and presented as %ID/g or% ID.

Insulin-Induced Glucose Uptake in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Eight-week-old and 96-week-old male mice (n = 5, each group) were assigned to the control and insulin-loaded groups. Those in the insulin-loaded groups were intraperitoneally injected with human insulin (2 U/kg body weight, Eli Lilly & Co., Kobe) 30 min prior to 18F-FDG injection. We excluded one of the 96-week-old mice in the insulin-loaded group because the blood glucose level did not decrease after insulin loading. Each animal was initially anesthetized with 4% isoflurane in air and maintained via spontaneous ventilation with 2% isoflurane in air. 18F-FDG (11.5 MBq/0.1 ml) was injected into the tail vein. Ninety minutes later, the animals were sacrificed and their organs were excised. The organs (muscle, heart, lungs, spleen, pancreas, white adipose tissue (superior pole of epididymis), testes, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, kidneys, liver, brown adipose tissue (between the shoulder blades), and brain) and blood samples (blood and plasma) were weighed, and their radioactivity was determined with a gamma counter (WIZARD2 (link) 2480; PerkinElmer, USA). After decay correction, the percentage of injected dose per gram of tissue was obtained and normalized to the animal weight [%ID/g tissue/kg body weight (%ID/g/kg)]. Blood samples for glucose concentration measurement were obtained from the control group and insulin-loaded groups.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
